You don't have to buy 3 Monitors.

You can check out the "Multi Monitor Performance Simulator" to get Games running in 5760*1080 resolution!

Just got them today unfortunately my active DP adapter is sent by Royal Mail so I wont get it for two weeks (if ever). Also found the monitor does not come with a DVI lead - just one VGA lead /sigh

Anyway got two running on HDMI and DVI. Only problem I've had is Civ 5 which was unplayable until I lowered the AA to x2 from x8. I had a bit of slowness in X3 : Albion Prelude but all my other games are fine so far. As I thought, the HD resolution makes text too small so I'll kely be lowering the res on most of my games.

That's... Going to be pretty slow...

CAN you? Yea probably. I'd recommend making a 1920X1080 windowed game with something like that though.

Games I have played so far:

All games in 1080p x 3

X3 Albion Prelude - No slowdown
Everquest 2 - A bit slow but fine for me on high detail (game has two more detail settings, very high and ultra)
Dungeons & Dragons Online - no issues on Ultra High Detail
Half Life 2 : Using Fake Factory mod (ultra high detail textures) - no slowdown although game itself can glitch a little on 3 monitors graphics wise
Civ 5 - no issues on maximum detail 2xAA although crashes if you zoom out too far
Skyrim - unplayable. Unplayable on two monitors as game is all over the place
Star Wars : The Old Republic - Probably too slow for you guys but fine for me on highest detail settings. AA off.
Unreal Tournament 3 - very fast but carry a sick bag lol...

Issues seen so far - one monitor scales down leaving a black border around the image if I use any resolution other than 1080p. Everquest 2 has about a 20% chance of not loading correctly on startup - giving some graphics glitches. Civ 5 crashes if you zoom out. Skyrim is a mess.
